I am so ready to be over the holidays and get my house & life back in some sort of order. Christmas this year has its normal drama... though it wasn't too terribly bad. It was resolved quickly and overall, it was a nice holiday.

Husby & I got the living room in semi-order. I just have to clean it then work on the kitchen, & Puddin's room. THEN I get to finish all of that laundry that has taken over our room. I know that you are fascinated by all of this and you wish you were a Domestic Goddess like myself. HA!

I am here for 2 days and then Puddin and I are heading back to Chattanooga to spend time with my brother & his family before they head to Japan next sunday. So, when I get back home I can officially get really started on the house and get my sewing room in order so I can officially start using my embroidery machine and getting Girly Crafty Goodness back up & running! I am so friggin' ready!

On a lighter note...

The Sweet Seduction of Itchy Butt

Christmas

I have all my shopping done. We don't ever have a lot of money to spend for presents but we manage and make the most of it. I know we have a lot more than many people, so in that aspect, I am very thankful. This holiday seemed to be going well, though there has been a sad veil over the family. My grandmother has been ill for a very long time. My mom has seen for a while that my grandmother is near death. She has put up a really good fight but she now realizes that its time to let go. She is full of toxins, her gallbladder needs to be removed, she has Ecoli, a broken foot, 2 broken ribs, a torn rotator cuff, and is in total renal failure. Its hard to believe that she has made it this far. Her doctor said she needed to have her gallbladder removed but she refused the surgery and said, she just wants to go home. My mother just called me crying because this means that she is finally ready to rest and see my grandaddy in heaven. I know it sounds silly and cliché, but she as been so sick for so long that she is just too tired and is ready to go be with him. My mother has taken care of her for so long and my mom needs some rest as well. She has devoted her life to taking care of her mother and has put everything on hold. It may sound a little selfish, but my mom deserves to get her life back before I am taking care of her as she did her mother. My mom needs some rest. So this Christmas, we may be burying my granny. She may make it through Christmas but wont last much longer after that. So now, what was supposed to be a fun and cheerful Christmas will be a time of sadness, though we will celebrate that life she had and the times we spent with her... as crazy at it has been; we can look back and laugh now.

Friday I helped my friend Shana get ready for her Salon Holiday Party. It was a blast and a huge success for the Salon. Lots of people came and showed their love & support for Shana and her co-owner Eva Marie. If you want good hair or make up done RIGHT and HOT, go see Shana at Harlow Salon on 17th/Music Row in Nashville. She gave me the cutest haircut this week!

I have a bit of a head cold but I ended out going out to dinner for sushi with friends last night. Yesterday was tough but as the night went on, I felt a lot better. It would have been nice if husby did at least one load of dishes, but no, I get to do all of that today while he is at the Titans game sitting in the press box getting free breakfast & lunch. Did I mention he went to the game with my keys in his pocket? So, yes, I am stuck in the house and not able to run errands.

Its a nice and shitty day in Nashville and I am stuck in the house with my crazy kidlet. Whose favorite phrase right now is "It's not fair Momma!" Joy.

Boring Christmas Stuff

Christmas is just around the corner. Matt & I have already given each other our one big present to each other. I got an iPhone and he got a Halo Edition Xbox 360. We decided to get one big thing each and get Puddin' a few small & medium price range presents. We got her one expensive-ish item, an MP3 player for toddlers. She will also be getting a dress up trunk of clothes, a cradle for her baby doll, a play tea set, magnetic paper doll, Crayola color explosion glow board, and a Furberry. This of course isn't including all of the things she will be getting from her grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and etc. After the first of the year, we plan on converting her toddler bed to a full size bed so we will need to get rails along with a mattress and box springs. I think she will use the bed set I had when I was a kid. It is a custom made Holly Hobby set and its super cute.

I am ready for 2008. I plan on converting the office to be just a sewing room and I am going to add lots of fun new things to Girly Crafty Goodness. I just dont have the energy to do it know. So Christmas has to hurry up and get here so I can start sewing!

For some stupid reason, I cannot put a title on my posts because as soon as I type it out, it turns to Arabic?!? Yeah I don'tknow what that is all about. Anyway.....
